1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

It is estimated that bone loss occurs in 70 % of all patients dying from cancer, causing a significant disease burden in cancer patients. Bone loss is caused by cancer itself and its metastases, but also by cancer therapies. Of the cancer therapy-induced bone loss, hormone therapies are best known for their bone damaging abilities. However, chemo- and radiotherapy may result in bone loss too. In this review, direct and indirect effects of various chemotherapies (such as methotrexate, imatinib, and taxanes) that cause bone loss are discussed. Furthermore, we discuss bone loss caused by radiotherapy and radionuclides, of which the latter may be reduced with the introduction of the alpha-emitter Radium-223. Finally, agents preventing chemotherapy- or radiotherapy-induced bone loss, in particular denosumab and bisphosphonates, are being reviewed for their efficacy in preventing chemotherapy- and irradiation-induced bone loss in cancer patients.
